Congressman seeks new way to connect with constituents

Posted by Sean Myers on Feb. 2, 2016

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) will get up and close with his constituents Feb. 27: He will commute with them to work.

Moulton will ride the T's commuter rail from Rockport to North Station. He is inviting his constituents and other Bostonians to join him and talk about their political concerns. He will board the train at 7:22 a.m. in Rockport and is scheduled to ride to downtown Boston's North Station until 8:33 a.m.

A Marine veteran of the Iraq War, Moulton was among the first U.S. troops to enter Baghdad in 2003. In Moulton's fourth and final tour of duty, Gen. David Petraeus tapped him to work as a special liaison to tribal leaders in southern Iraq. Since being elected to Congress in 2015, Moulton has been active in the Armed Services Committee and the Small Business Committee, where he is the ranking member of the Health and Technology Subcommittee.
